Henkel received a 2010 Automotive News PACE Award for its new Aquence Co-Cure coating process. The prestigious award recognizes automotive suppliers for superior innovation, technological advancement and business performance.
The Aquence Co-Cure process was recognized in the Manufacturing Process category. This process layers the Aquence autodeposition coatings with a powder or liquid topcoat, and or adhesive and "co-cures" them together in a single oven.
In addition, the environmentally responsible process simplifies conventional metal pretreatment by reducing it to a two-step coating process, therefore reducing the production footprint by up to 40 percent. The Aquence Co-Cure process results in energy and cost savings, process efficiency, and reduces environmental impact since it contains no heavy metals or sludge.
